Chapter 1661 Battle of Broken Horn (5)

The communication channel was full of teammates' voices, some were calmly reporting, some were screaming before death, and some were meaningless and could not be identified.

Hall reached out to close the friendly channel. This information could not play any role and could only disturb his mind.

The lightning strike did not play the role it should have, even if the target was a group of cruisers.

After all, there were too many enemy planes coming to intercept. It felt that the title of the largest combat fleet should be given to the Red Maple Republic.

Hall took a look and saw that on average, each friendly unit had to face more than two enemies at the same time. Even if the enemy was mainly driving old space fighters, this number was too terrifying.

"Keep flying, and we will retreat after dropping torpedoes."

In this situation, even the flight commander began to panic, but Li Chengxi's voice was still very calm.

All the enemy forces that approached would be destroyed by him, and even many enemy planes could not enter the precise shooting distance at all, and were detonated by Li Chengxi.

As always, the shooting ability was so accurate that it made people shudder.

Li Chengxi was obedient this time and did not rush in. Maybe even he felt that it was not a good thing to act on his own in such a large-scale battle.

Hall took a look at the star map and found that he had reached the projection point. He turned the body posture and fired four void torpedoes. The racks ejected to avoid affecting the flexibility of the mana mecha.

There were also many friendly forces that arrived at the projection point, but the damage caused by the void torpedoes was unsatisfactory.

Only a small number of enemy cruisers were hit visually, and most of the torpedoes were destroyed by anti-aircraft guns on the way.

In other words, the number of carrier-based aircraft that arrived at the projection point was still insufficient.

Hall could only smack his lips and turn around to control the body to keep up with Li Chengxi.

The current task is to return home, re-mount the torpedoes, and wait for new orders to launch another torpedo attack.

But it is not easy to go back.

There are too many enemy fighters. Regardless of whether the task of projecting torpedoes has been completed or not, most of the friendly forces are entangled by the enemy and it is difficult to run.

No matter how good Li Chengxi is at fighting, he can't help all the friendly forces. Even though Hall followed him, the two of them were like meteors that shuttled quickly in the meteorite belt, and it still seemed like a drop in the bucket.

Hall certainly knew that the most troublesome thing now was the reactor jammer of the Red Maple Republic, but let alone dealing with it, it would take a long time to break through the cruiser formation in front of him and face the main force of the enemy.

"Don't worry, it's too early to tell the outcome now."

As if he saw Hall's thoughts, Li Chengxi maintained the high-speed maneuvering of the body and said:

"I don't believe that the top leaders of the Xuanshui Federation have not prepared a backup plan, and we are not without support."

As he spoke, Li Chengxi kicked away the enemy fighter that tried to launch a sneak attack on the friendly forces with a flying kick, and added two beam Balkans to turn it into a fireball.

He then pointed behind Hall and turned his head to see that the huge planetary fortress surrounded by the royalist fleet was approaching.

Speaking of reinforcements, the reinforcements are coming.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The royalist fleet came with the Fifth Fleet, but the royalists did not accept the command of the Rotating Water Federation and were friendly forces with independent decision-making power.

This war was not only a conflict between two superpowers, but also a conflict between the royalists and the Republic government. They could not stand idly by.

It was just that it was very unwise to rush into the war when the situation was unclear in the early stage, so they only operated underground in the early and middle stages, or played the emotional card, and now, if they did not go on the stage, there would be no chance for them to go on the stage.

Because the royalist fleet did not accept the command, it did not go with the Fifth Fleet to join the main force, but stood outside the battlefield at its own pace, approaching the battlefield step by step.

This approach was actually criticized by the Rotating Water Federation Command. It felt like waiting for the fisherman to benefit from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam, but when the Red Maple Republic Army activated the reactor jammer, the royalist fleet played a big role.

They approached from the rear of the cruiser formation, and as soon as they entered the artillery range, they immediately aimed at the cruiser formation of the Red Maple Republic Army.

Even though the Red Maple Republic Army has thousands of cruisers, it is only a fleet of cruisers and mobile aircraft carriers after all. It will be very weak in a head-on battle against real main battleships.

Not to mention, there is a huge planetary fortress with a diameter of more than 3,000 kilometers.

To deal with the cruiser fleet, the long-range anti-ship ion beam on the fortress is enough, and there is no need to activate the main gun.

The glory of a round of salvos completely overwhelmed the main guns of all cruisers. The cruiser formation of the Red Maple Republic is certainly not blind, but because it is entangled by the fleet of the Whirlwater Federation, it is not so easy to retreat and dodge.

The result is that after two or three rounds of salvos, the cruise fleet was almost destroyed by one-third, which is much greater than the damage caused by the two sides fighting for half a day.

At the same time, the royalist fleet began to open a full-screen broadcast to the entire universe, and Princess Leia, the soul of the royalist faction, appeared on the broadcast.

Li Chengxi felt that this routine was very familiar. If Princess Leia sang and danced, it would become Macross...

Of course, Princess Leia doesn't know how to sing and dance to become an idol. She just gave a long speech, eloquently expounding the unnecessaryness of this war and the irrationality of the Republic's illegal war, and advised the soldiers to give up fighting and surrender, and jointly resist the Republic government.

Princess Leia's prestige among the people is not high, but the status of the royal family among the people is very high.

After all, it has only been more than 20 years since the Red Maple Empire became a republic. Young people may not feel much, but for middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, the appearance of Princess Leia itself represents the illegality of the Republic government.

Coincidentally, in order to supplement the insufficient troops, many of the recruits of the Red Maple Republic are people of this age group.

Although it is not enough to make the enemy surrender with just one speech, Princess Leia's speech did have a certain impact, and this impact will become greater and greater as the fleet of the Whirlwater Federation approaches the capital step by step.

But now, the fleet will not raise the white flag just because of Princess Leia's words. The battle is already in a white-hot state.

So, does Princess Leia's speech have any positive effect?

Yes, it is reasonable.

It is equivalent to promoting the legitimacy of one's own behavior. If the royalist fleet launches an attack next, it will not be a civil war, but the killing of traitors.

This operation is the same as Viola's use of Flavia as a banner. The people can not believe it, but you must have it, otherwise it is not right to take the position, which is not conducive to post-war rule.

So after Princess Leia's speech, everyone on the battlefield saw that the huge planet fortress began to light up with brilliant light, which once overshadowed the brightness of the stars.

Fortress cannons, start charging.
